The road map was the perfect addition to this LO! Love it Nanne!
ReplyDeleteSo darn cute, love the road map idea... your so clever. XXX, Staci
ReplyDeleteOh Nanne, this is great! You know one of the things that I like so much about your LO's is how you seem to take some kind of element in your page and make it pop with a contrasting or complimentary color!
ReplyDeleteLOL, do you know you do this? hehe!
Makes me think about how smart keeping a color wheel nearby would be for papercrafting!
Anyways the photos are fun and I love what you did with this, the map looks great too!
Absolute perfect page, Nanne. You do guy pages so well and they are sooooo hard! Love the little road map . perfect for the challenge and perfect for your pix! You nailed it!
ReplyDeleteEven before I read what you said, I thought: "Nice job doing a boy page!" I think most of us are challenged to make it embellished and creative, yet not become girly. Excellent! I'm glad I found your blog today!
ReplyDeleteGreat page, perfect for little ones! I think the 'Eat My Dust' is their motto while playing with the carss and this page is perfect in every way. Love the colors are perfect with the map. LOVE IT!

Great work my friend!!!!
